There was a discussion a while ago about whether clubbing was a hobby, addiction, etc. More and more I'm considering it a form of psychotherapy, vital to my mental well being.
Now if only I could get my insurance to cover my visits...
Just had to comment: I am a mid-thirties stay at home mom to 3 boys. After my 3rd son was born 10 months ago, I got the "baby blues" and couldn't shake it. Went for post partum therapy and all. Well, I decided to take my husband to a SC club for his birthday (my 1st time, obviously not his). I had such a good time and felt so young (I'm in my mid thirties, but am still quite attractive even after 3 kids!). I felt like for one night I was as far away from being a stay at home mom as could be and it felt great. I said to my husband the next day that our one night in the strip club did more for me than my 4 sessions of therapy. I've been happier ever since!!!!
Now I will never be a regular SC patron like many of you, but there was something about the whole experience that gave me a boost.
A lot of addictions feel good for you at first. That's how they get you hooked. Cocaine and heroin were considered medicine before their destructive effects were understood.
Great sscape, hobby, therapy, all of the above. Does it matter? What would matter is if somebody took it away as a few do gooders would like to accomplish in various cities and states. That's the kind of encroachment on liberty that I would fear.

Myself, I think I'd rather pay my own way and have it my own way. The thought of a government run/supported SC is mind boggling!

If you are depressed, I suggest seeing a psychiatrist who will prescribe medication.
Try good diet and exercise first.
